Hand-drawn animation in a hurry

The client had eight members of the team they wanted to present at a pitch event, so we created 8 different clips, combining film of the team member with animation.

At Napoleon Creative we’ve made a load of whiteboard animation over the years. It’s a style which refuses to go out of fashion! However, filming a proper whiteboard animation can be time consuming to plan. So we looked at ways of doing a hand-drawn animation without filming. We came up with a digital solution, using the Procreate app and an iPad Pro.

Procreate enables us to draw digitally, making it quicker to correct, and gives a very crips texture will still being a hand-drawn animation.

The clips in question were for a bid film, so we can’t show you the whole thing, but hopefully the short excerpt above gives you a feel for it!
